Hearts in Open Water

About Hearts in Open Water

Hearts in Open Water is an adult romance visual novel set aboard M/Y Halcyon, a 55-meter superyacht working a high-pressure Mediterranean charter season while quietly preparing for a looming sale. You play as Reeve, a disciplined ex-Royal Navy captain whose authority is absolute on the water—and whose job depends on a single line in a closing memo.

Over twelve weeks of procedures, port calls, and midnight requests that never make it into the official log, three women step across thresholds only the captain controls. Choose one route, live one romance—and learn what a season-ending decision really costs.

Cosima — The Owner's Suite
Cosima Lasry is the perfectly photographed wife of a hedge-fund titan—and the most strategic person on the yacht. As her marriage approaches a contractual deadline, she begins using the vessel's routines to carve out an escape that no one is allowed to notice. To Reeve, she is both principal and pressure point: a woman who understands his discretion, and knows exactly how to ask for it.

Anouk — The Survey
A senior yacht sales broker with a six-figure commission on the line, Anouk boards Halcyon as the buyer's observer—clipboard in hand, reputation sharpened to a blade. Her closing memo contains a retention line that can keep Reeve in command or quietly end his tenure. Their relationship is a controlled collision of ambition and attraction: two people trained to keep everything on record, tempted by what happens when the record is closed.

Tully — The Interior
Promoted to Chief Stewardess on Reeve's signature, Tully runs the yacht's luxury like a mission—fast, flawless, and almost invisible until she chooses not to be. Behind the polished service is a private urgency: her sister's chemo back in Brisbane, paid for by the very season she cannot afford to leave. With Reeve, her romance is built on mutual competence and late-night honesty—two professionals choosing each other in the only gaps the job allows.
